Retaliation!
The attack came very suddenly. Bullets shot out from the woods and accurately hit several pieces of bulletproof glass. Several white dots appeared on the transparent bulletproof glass after being hit by bullets.
Immediately afterward, before Chen Mo could make any move, the moment the vehicle was attacked, all the front and rear windshields and windows automatically and rapidly raised or lowered a barrier, blocking the easily damaged bulletproof glass.
As these barriers descended, all the interior lights came on. The barriers blocked the glass and blocked out the sunlight, plunging the interior into darkness for a moment, and then they illuminated the interior again. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice that brief moment of darkness.
Then, the windows and front and rear windshields lit up. Under the illumination of the interior lights, what was visible through the glass was the black paint on the inside of the automatically lowered shield, a completely black area. But after the bulletproof glass lit up, it turned into screens, displaying the corresponding scene outside in real time.
Chen Mo sat calmly in the car, showing no surprise on his face, as if he had known all along that someone would attack him here.
Bullets continued to rain down from outside, striking the special alloy steel plates on the car body with a series of crisp clanging sounds. Although the car body appeared to be riddled with holes, in reality, apart from the paint being severely damaged, only the three-millimeter-thick ultra-thin alloy armor was slightly dented, and the overall defensive capability remained unchanged.
To break through the defenses of this sturdy special alloy armor with their automatic rifles would take at least ten minutes, and only with ample ammunition and continuous firing without stopping, would they have a chance to break through the special alloy by attacking the same area repeatedly.
Therefore, Chen Mo doesn't need to worry about bullets coming in for a short time. However, under normal circumstances, Chen Mo should drive away as soon as possible. After all, no matter how sturdy an armored car is, it will be breached sooner or later. Taking advantage of the intact defenses and leaving as soon as possible is the right choice.
Shortly after the attack began, four loud thuds of heavy objects hitting the ground were heard, accompanied by ground tremors.
Through the screen on the windshield, Chen Mo could clearly see that two tall trees, each with a trunk diameter of more than half a meter, had fallen down on the road in front of and behind the car. The already narrow asphalt road was cut off by these four fallen trees, their thick trunks and huge, lush canopies completely blocking the road, making it impossible for ordinary vehicles to pass.
Of course, just because ordinary vehicles couldn't do it didn't mean that Chen Mo's "Knight" couldn't either. But Chen Mo didn't try to leave. Instead, he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car in the middle of the road, quietly enduring the continuous attacks from four automatic rifles on both sides of the road.
In the woods, four burly men in camouflage uniforms were firing automatic rifles at Chen Mo's vehicle. They originally intended to kill Chen Mo through the car windows, but they didn't expect that this seemingly stable and stylish SUV was indeed, as someone had said, an armored vehicle!
Even so, they were confident that they could shatter the bulletproof glass and kill Chen Mo with their powerful firepower!
However, the changes that followed were somewhat unexpected. Not only were there barriers erected outside all the bulletproof glass, but even the four wheels were blocked. Moreover, these barriers were just as strong as the steel plates of the car body, and they could not be damaged in a short time.
Fortunately, they learned of the existence of this bulletproof off-road vehicle in advance. They not only changed their plans and strengthened their weapons, but also prepared large trees to block the road. Otherwise, he might have really been able to escape.
However, the armored vehicle's defenses were truly formidable; they had been attacking it for quite some time but still couldn't break through the armor.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, another thin figure emerged from behind a large tree by the roadside. That seemingly honest face, but now filled with resentment, was none other than Eddicott, the former head of the engine development team in the company's R&D department who had been fired by Chen Mo!
Looking at the SUV riddled with bullet holes in the middle of the road, riddled with bullet holes from the continuous barrage of bullets, Eddicott was filled with hatred!
After being kicked out of the company that day, Eddicott was worried that they would call the police and have him arrested, so he simply went into hiding.
Given the amount of company research and development funds he embezzled, once caught, he would basically spend the rest of his life in prison. He hasn't had enough fun yet; he can't give up any of the beautiful women, drugs, money, or casinos. If he were to actually go to jail, it would be better to kill him!
Moreover, he is now hiding to avoid the police and can no longer enjoy himself as he used to. Staying in that dilapidated and cramped room in the slums, Eddicott doesn't even dare to call for prostitutes, for fear of being discovered by the police.
This life of constant fear, hiding, and living in darkness is a world apart from his previous carefree and dissolute existence.
This filled him with boundless hatred for Chen Mo, the culprit who caused her current predicament!
The longer he hid in the slums, the stronger this hatred became: You ruined my life, and I'll ruin yours too!
As a social scum who had been involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs for many years, Eddicott knew a few underworld figures. Through their connections, Eddicott got in touch with a hitman agent.
Although he had already squandered the huge sum of money he had obtained from Taylor Company, he still had a considerable amount of money left from the money he had swindled from Little Taylor during the development of the last new car model. Paying an assassin would be a piece of cake.
When Chen Mo first came to the company, Eddicott was there to greet him at the gate, so he knew that Chen Mo's vehicle was a motorcycle, making him easy to deal with. Therefore, he only hired one assassin to ambush him, planning to shoot him dead when he left.
In the morning, the assassin had secretly scouted the location and discovered that Chen Mo had indeed arrived at the company on a motorcycle.
Just as he had figured out the terrain, planned the hiding and ambush locations and the retreat route, and was about to leave, he heard a series of gunshots that lasted for a full minute coming from inside the company.
The gunfire disrupted his entire plan. As an assassin, he was very familiar with gunfire. Just by listening to the sound, he could tell that it was a belt-fed MK-48 light machine gun!
